Cambridge have proven themselves to be a tough side to get the better of recently, but they are lacking an edge to get themselves wins on the board at the end of the day. That is what is keeping them down in the bottom half of the table and joining them down there now is Stevenage because after their solid start they have really started to lose their way and are in desperate need of a pick-me-up to get themselves going in the right direction again. The U’s are 6/5 to pick up the win on home soil with Stevenage at 11/5 to nail a big three away points.

StevenageCambridge Form
The U’s have only lost one of their last seven league games in a great run of form (although that defeat was a 7-0 bruiser at Luton last weekend). It leaves them W2 D4 L1 in their last seven and so they have been hard to beat. But the problem they have, and it is an issue which has been bothering them all season, is finding a way to put the ball in the back of the net. They have failed to score a single goal in any of their last four league games now. Under 2.5 goals should be a decent wager. Their home from across the season reads a positive W5 D2 L2 and they are on a three-match unbeaten streak at home as well with two wins in that sequence. As a positive in this one, 75% of their goals this season in the league have all come on home soil.
Stevenage Form
Boro started the season so well, but have gone off the rails pretty drastically. They are W1 D2 L5 in their last eight league games and worryingly for them in this fixture, four of the five defeats in that sequence came out on the road. Stevenage have had trouble sticking the ball in the back of the net recently, just like Cambridge have and have netted just the two goals in their last three games. Away from home, they have netted one goal only across their last four away from home. They are struggling now averaging less than a goal per game out on the road this season while they have kept only the one clean sheet in their last six road games.
Head to Head News
Each of the last three between these at the Abbey Stadium have gone under 2.5 goals and from last season’s two league meetings, Cambridge collected four points. It means that they have lost just one of their last five meetings against Boro now (W2 D2) which is a positive for them. The U’s have remained unbeaten in their last three home games against Stevenage in the league two.
Top Betting Tips
Wins have been really hard to come by for both of these and just because of that the stalemate is going to have appeal in the game, how can it not? But however, Cambridge are hard to beat and are defensively good enough to see themselves get over the line with a big three points against an out of form Boro. Under 2.5 goals looks likely whatever the result.
